It was a welcome return for Formula 1 when it arrived back to Le Castellet, 17 years after last hosting a race. The circuit has been transformed into a modern, multi-layout track, with exceptional technologies. In testing scenarios, they even have the ability to wet the track with a push of a button.

The nearest city is Marseille, a tourist friendly city full of accommodation and restaurants for your post-race refreshments. Crowned by the spectacular "Basilique Notre-dame de la Garde", the city sprawls down the hillside to the Old Port of Marseille, where Greek traders first found it in 600 BC; and fishermen still populate the port to this day selling their catches.
